general effect being dark orange-red. $1.00 each; $10-00

flowers from 4 to 9 inches across, produced in moderate
quantity. The various varieties of the Tuberosa are suitable for planting in deep water, and should have plenty of

finest white Water Lily of all. (See cut.) 25 cts, each;
$2.50 per doz.

Sultan.
WATER EIEY SEEDS.
Hardy Nymphaeas may be sown either in fall or
spring in the shallow places on the margin of natural
ponds, where, if conditions are favorable, they will
germinate anil soon become established.
Nelumbiums should have a small hole cut through
the shell of each seed with a sharp knife.
Tender Nymphaeas may be sown in spring in pots
or pans, using any good potting soil; cover the seeds
with one-fourth inch of sand, give a thorough watering,
allow to drain for an hour, then submerge in water as
70° as possible. Two inches of water over the soil is suffi-
As soon as the seedlings have made two leaves, put
singly into small pots, and when well rooted repot into
5-inch pots, from which size they may be planted into their
ring quarters during May and June.
